Friends and I will be on the 9/17 Canada (Magic) trip. 3 of us are retired and in our 60s; I'm the oldest at 67; my cabin-mate is mid-40s. We are quite happy to be sailing with seniors and looking forward to our 1st cruise out of NYC and to Canada. We know it will be different. Hope to maybe see you onboard!

I need this info also!

Yes, you can! And this makes it a great time to try some things you might not normally order! Enjoy your cruise!

I'm thrilled to be "traveling" with you all virtually! A friend and I cruised to Alaska several years ago, on CCL Legend (my very favorite ship so far; love, love the layout; easy to get around). I think Miracle is the same class of ship as Legend. We also cruised during this exact time frame also --- so you should be able to see a bit of fall color! The Alaskan scenery is the star of these cruises, in my opinion. Enjoy!

We did an Alaska cruise out of Seattle a few years ago; 2nd week of Sept. on Carnival Legend. Loved it! We really didn't think about the colors; thought it might be too early. But we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of color we saw. I think the most we saw were bright yellows of what I think were aspen trees. Lots of late wild flowers were blooming and the lichens/mosses had also turned to their fall colors. The main place were got to experience the fall foliage was our port day in Skagway. We rented one of the very few available cars and drove up the Klondike Hwy into Canada (must have passport) up to Emerald Lake. The highway, then, was in great condition and there were very few cars. Literally saw maybe 15-20 all day. We had lunch at a little cafe in the middle of nowhere near Emerald Lake, then headed back to Skagway. There is a train excursion there, but we chose the rental car to have control over when/where we stopped. Below are a few of my Alaska pics. I saw some from another cruiser who went there 1-2 weeks after we were there, and there was a huge increase in fall leaf color when they were there....so last half of Sept had more color. I'm sure like everywhere, the leaf color varies from year to year! We are doing a Canada (St. John, Halifax, Sydney) 7-day cruise out of NYC in a few weeks. We're curious as to how much color we may see! Whatever you choose, just have fun and enjoy!

Hi, OP, just wondering if you've had a chance to try the email route for your request. I'm interested in whether you get a response. We have been on a waitlist for almost 3 months. If we don't hear anything before we board, we'll head to the MDR and try to get a change once on board. Thanks.

Side question to those in the know: We will be on a cruise soon with our first time having Drinks on Us in the casino. My question is how do the casino workers know that you have the DOU option? Is there a designation on your S&S card or......? I can't find info on the specifics, including what is the limit of # of drinks under DOU? If there is somewhere on the CCL site that explains this, please someone let me know! I hate asking stupid questions, but I just don't know this and can't find answers. Thanks all for your help!

Yes, that "toofie" is fake. Really a crown. But I was mad it happened, so it got degraded in my mind to a "fake"!

I'm sitting here with my freshly fallen out fake tooth on the desk (guess where I'll be Monday morning, but at least it didn't happen on our upcoming NY/Canada cruise in a few weeks), and looking at that menu. I really want, right now, 1 of the Cubans and 1 of the Jerk Chicken empanadas. That beef one does look good.
